      Hey folks, I know, its been done to death, nothing new under the sun here.
      (I´v made a Snes-Pi, a retro-tv one, a bartop, a "portable" and a wallmounted cabinet before, but wanted a good looking Nes in the collection. :) )
      Here it goes:

        I like the paint job. I would have used a powerblock, but that's just my preference. The backlight interior print is a nice touch.

          Thumbnail sized pictures in 2018? Really? ;-)

          It looks great! I love it, except i would have painted the cartridge slot cover along with the top of the console, the light blue color seems a bit off to me. The backlit print is a really nice touch!
